Apple Jumps on iDVD Modification

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)


Posted by: TotalRecall

Apple sent a warning to Other World Computer stating that a patch from the company violated the DMCA. The patch allowed Apple's iDVD software to burn DVDs with external drives:

That means Macintosh owners with older computers or laptop computers, or people who opted not to buy the "Superdrive"-equipped Macs, could not use iDVD to save movies.

In response, Other World Computing began bundling a product called DVD Enabler with its external Mercury Pro DVD-R/RW FireWire drive. DVD Enabler modified iDVD so the application would save completed DVDs to a FireWire-connected drive.

A press release from Other World Computing dated Aug. 12 said the company "will no longer market its DVD Enabler software, effective immediately."
